Title: Gutter Vac Replacement Hose Choices
Post by: Smart Carpet on April 03, 2014, 04:32:38 pm
My ETS Direct Gutter Vac hose has got one split too many now, So I'm looking to replace it.

I think it originally came with 7.5m, but I think 10m or 15m would be better.

So, I'd like to hear any feedback on the suggested replacements!  (or suggest something better!)

I don't think the grey ETS hose is very hard wearing, so what would be better?

Polar Vak 7.5 Meters (22.5') of 51mm for £42.90 (http://www.polarbrite.co.uk/gutter-vacuum-systems/gutter-cleaning-systems/polarvak_gutter_vacuum_hose/gutter_vacuum_hose_51mm_7M)
(http://www.polarbrite.co.uk/image/cache/data/product/gutter-vacuum-hose-38mm-250x250.jpg)

Or...

Wouldn't using a longer hose decrease the suction ?

Not that much.

How have you got on with the PolarVak hose?  Is it very durable?

If the hose is too long it spools on the ground and causes blockages. Its the circles not the length that will be a problem.

Oh really? That's great! I was wondering if it was a bit thin , but if it's ok then i'll probably go for that one.
